12. Frosting (HikaruKaoru)
"Hikaru! Let go!" Kaoru said, struggling against his brother's hands. He could feel all of the gazes in the room locked onto them, and he grinned a little on the inside. Outwardly, he let an angry flush rise to his cheeks.
Hikaru's grip tightened on his shoulders, keeping him still. A girl to their left gave a frightened little gasp. It was a surprise that none of the girls had picked up on these little acts; girls were supposed to be perceptive. "Kaoru," Hikaru's voice was rough and angry, "why did you do it?"
Gaging the distance between himself and the table behind him, Kaoru took a step back. Hikaru took one forward. "Please," Kaoru mumbled, turning his face away, "I don't want to talk about this here."
Neither twin spared Hunny a second glance as he fled the table, running teary-eyed to Mori. Kaoru took another step back, shifting his weight so it would be easy for Hikaru to maneuver him. Hikaru's voice was still harsh, "I want to know now."
"No," Kaoru said, feeling a little braver than usual.
Kaoru was tempted to laugh at the many gasps and yelps that followed Hikaru's shove. As it was, he could only hiss a little as the table dug into his thigh uncomfortably. Kaoru's hand shot out behind him to stop his fall; he kept a grimace on his face. This was going perfectly.
Then the whole act was thrown askew. A cry sounded from Hunny's throat, and Mori was automatically reaching to grab at Kaoru's arm. Hikaru stumbled backward as Mori threw his entire weight into pulling Kaoru away from the table. Kaoru gave a startled (and slightly pained) gasp as he was thrown even more off balance. He swung his free arm around violently, attempting to steady himself. His hand landed in a large piece of cake, the frosting slipping through his fingers. He was still falling.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru exclaimed, and proceeded to throw himself on the floor to cushion his brother's fall.
Kaoru sat up quickly, looking down at his brother. The act was off and he could now say what ever he wanted. "Hikaru! Are you ok?" he asked, concerned.
Hikaru sat up, rubbing his arm. "Yeah, I'm alright. You?" he asked, wincing a little.
Before Kaoru could respond, Hunny ran to the table looking distraught. "My cake!" he cried, eyes tearing again. Mori glared at Kaoru, who cowered a little.
The fangirls squeed in the background, some swooning at these beautiful and blatantly shown signs of affection.

sorry for the abrupt ending; I have a lot to do tonight... and acts tomorrow... how depressing.
